Audit Resources Now Available

A new APTA Web resource can help PTs prepare for and successfully get through a Medicare claims audit. The Medicare Claims Audits Web page provides audit tools such as a form for conducting a self audit, an auditing entities chart, information on hiring an attorney, and a link to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' brochure on the appeal process. The page also links to APTA's Defensible Documentation resource; information on enrolling in Medicare; Medicare local coverage decisions; handling fraud and abuse media coverage; Medicare denials, audits, and appeals; and coding and billing information.

Comments

Very pleased to hear this resource is available. When our clinic when through an audit 4 years ago, there was no such help available. You need to have someone who has been through the experience to help guide you through the process.
I have a feeling we will be hearing more and more of this.
